Scales


Scales


Yes, the very word has lots of beginners looking out the window. But scales are vital, and are there in all the music we play.


MasterKey
removes the mystery from scales.
Major, minor (natural, harmonic, melodic), pentatonic, blues - they all sound a bit intimidating to the beginner.

What would you say if all those Scales - and the seven Modes, which can be as mystifying as seven more scales - could be demonstrated so clearly that the patterns that they make, the rules that they follow, are soon obvious?

MasterKey graphically shows you the ‘shape’ of each of those scales, and by adjusting the slide to any required Tonic, or key-note, the notes that make up the scales in that key can be seen instantly.
Melodic Minor scales: if you look closely at the MasterKey on this website, you will see two Melodic Minor lines. The melodic minor is different ascending from descending - looking out the window again? - but
MasterKey is right with you, setting it all out for you to follow.

One more thing about major and minor scales: every major scale has its relative minor scale, with which it shares all its notes. MasterKey has a clever feature that gives you all the relative minors, too.

We would all agree that music - making music - is something very special. Don’t let the technicalities spoil it for you. Move through the maze of scales and modes with MasterKey.
